About us
The Idaho Office for Refugees supports our nation’s founding belief of offering refuge and safety to people forced to leave their homes due to persecution of their religious beliefs, political opinions, or ethnic heritage. We create opportunities for refugees and the larger community to come together over their shared values of hard work, family, faith, and freedom, through English Language education, cultural events, and programs like Global Gardens and the Refugee Speakers Bureau.

The Idaho community is mourning the loss of a wonderful colleague in resettlement who dedicated so much of her life to helping others. Tara McFarland, who worked at the refugee center in Twin Falls for nearly two decades, passed away on Saturday. She is leaving in huge hole in our hearts and the resettlement community in Idaho. Our thoughts are with U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI) Twin Falls.
